Ramses tomb is opened by archaeologists and his mummy is shipped to England for museum display. Before the mummy reaches the museum, it is stored in the estate of a lovely English heiress. When Ramses awakes in England in modern times, he is bewildered but is helped by the lovely heiress who is swept off her feet by the great Egyptian's aura of power and wealth. They return to Egypt and he uses the same magic which awakened him to try and awaken his queen (whose mummy has lain in a glass museum case for years). She, however, is not completely reanimated and becomes a vicious murderer. I've never been a big Anne Rice fan but this was better than the Vampire series in my opinion.
